According to reports, Villarreal’s winger Alex Baena is drawing interest from Arsenal and Chelsea.
Arsenal and Chelsea are believed to be in the market for Villarreal’s Alex Baena, a talented young winger who has caught the eye with his impressive performances this season. Baena, who is just 21 years old, has made a significant impact for the Spanish club this campaign, contributing 10 goals and 5 assists across all competitions.
As per a recent report by Fichajes, both Premier League sides are said to be interested in securing the services of the promising youngster. While it remains to be seen where Baena will eventually end up, it is clear that his potential has not gone unnoticed by top clubs in Europe.
For Arsenal, in particular, the addition of Baena could provide a much-needed boost to their wide options. This season, Mikel Arteta has largely relied on the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli as his primary wingers, but with the potential arrival of Baena, the Gunners boss would have more flexibility to rotate his squad and keep his players fresh for all competitions.
Of course, Baena himself will be keen to secure regular playing time wherever he goes. A move to Arsenal, where he could compete for a starting spot and develop under the guidance of Arteta, could prove an enticing prospect for the young winger. However, the lure of Chelsea, who are also in the hunt for his signature, cannot be discounted either.
As the transfer window draws ever closer, it will be fascinating to see how the pursuit of Baena develops and which club will ultimately secure his signature. For now, one thing is certain – this talented youngster has a bright future ahead of him in the world of football.
